The GAZETTE Is now the oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness hs,
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the E1eHrY.sEvEN YEARS gifts existence In
its columns has always been found a mirror
ofpassing events, and the careful chroni.
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is Away.
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press die
patches from every part the world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has .:..aspired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitabIe globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE q great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mOnd and every section of thestate, is pub
lished regularly and all eyents Of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are to lie found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.

WatersOn's Opinion ,

New York, July l9.-The Herald
prints a two column interview with
Henry Waterson on politics in general.
Mr.. Waterson says that the Democrats
are bound to renominate Cleveland
whether they like him or not, as there
is no one to contest the field with him.
He was asked if he liked Cleveland and
he replied: swell, as the old lady at
the mourners' bench observed when she
was asked if she loved the Lord, 4 may
amt got nothin' again him." He is
also quoted as saying: "At one time l
thought the Republicans would enter a
dark horse in the race. Recent indica-
tions, however, point to the denomination
of Mr.. Blaine. In that event we shall
have the old fight over again with some
material variations"
"What will those variations be?"
"Less personal scandal and calumny
and more old fashioned party bitterness
The Mulligan letter box is an exploded
magazine, and the Presidents marriage
knocked Maria Halpin as high as kite
Real issues are gathering with greater
postivity and clearness. The tariff fol
one thing, and Mr.. Blaine handles the
Protectionlsts side of the controversy
with greater ability and plausibility
than all the others put together; th'
solid south for another thing, and as t.
this, the Republicans have framed al
indictment which, though spacious will
serve them for policy through one NOR
campaign ANYHOW. Two such question
stoutly maintained, cannot fail to pre-
duce great deal of feeling"
where do you think the advantag
will lie2"
"On the whole. with the Dem ocrat
I think. There is not, in my judg'
ment, another Republican Presidel
wrapped in the folds OF the blood
shirt"
The name of For. kcr was then me-
toned by the ieporter, and the Ke
, lucky editor said.
"Oh, Foraker fiddlesticks! He is
, sort of Cheap John Jefferson Dav
with all of Mr.. Davis unguarled On
0 rulity and rash impetuosity, but wit
a out any of Mr.. Davis accomplishment

Another County Heard From.

We predict that the good accomplish
ed at the coming extra session will be
very limited. With more "wrangling"
and "wire pulling" than was manifested
at the last session of our legislature. For
these reasons, coming so soon after the
last session, each member has fresh in
mind all the influence and pressure that
was brought to bear upon him; to secure
his support to certain bills that he was
inclined to oppose. He has also had
time to think what he would do and say,
if he only had a chance again to be heard.
The golden opportunity" is now given
them, each heart is throbbing with the
desire to out do their past record. which
will cause more strife. Tn, time of year
will be very favorable for hard work,
owing to the heat, short evenings, and
thought at home, which is not ,he ease
in the months of January and February
Then again all schemes that were dt-
feated at the last session, and those who
were effected by the passage of certain
laws will all be up in arms with Il strong
lobby to carry their measure. The
Helena merchants will want their
license on travelling salesmen taken off.
The saloons want their license cat down
and the gambling houses the law ap-
pealed. The printing law is always
hobby for some cranks To display their
"Big l" in connection herewith. Then
there are the bounty and revenue laws
which have so agitated the people of
the territory, will all time for considera-
ton, and as Judge Blake puts it to
reporter of the In dependent: "Mem-
bers of the legislature do not seem to
get down to work before they begin to
realize it is time to adjourn" This being
the case, little will be done until they
realize they must push all bills through,
and we are afraid the result will he no
better than was accomplished at the last
session. But no blame should be given
the Helenaites, as it is their duty to
work for their own booming city, las any
other place would dn.) Let them gather
in the shekels, and let the territory at
large hope much good may be accom-
plished by the calling of an extra ses-
sion.--Billings Gazette.

Washington. July ls.-A general prin.
ciple of long standing and considerable
importance in the administration of pub
lie land matters is re-aflirmed by Acting
Secretary Mrldrow in his ruling upon
the case of James Young, homestead
entrvman of Salt Lake City. Its pur-
pose is that no amount of cultivation
and improvement, and no showing of
good faith in other respects, can atone
for the lack of actual residence upon the
land sought to be secured, and that even
actual residence does not give validity to
the claim, except in so far as it shows an
intention to make such residence perma-
nent beyond the requirement of title.
Young lived on his claim, where he had
made improvements valued at 81 200 or
81 800, bu. his family resided mile dis
tant, and it was in evidence that he de-
signed abandoning his claim as place
of residence us soon as he made his title
secure. A contest was made by one Van
Ostrum, a professional contestant, whose
purpose was to gain some preference
rights and sell them out.
The local officer and the commissioner
decided for Young and against Van Os'
trum. The acting secretary orders mod
ication of this decision. He says thai
while Van Ostrum cannot acquire any
rights in the matter, the government il
not stopped from action upon the infor
nation it has gained, and he directs tn
cancellation Of Youns's claim.
The general principle influences tn
decision in the case of Frank Young,
homesteader of Huron, Oak. He ha

A Chestnut Bell.

The Montana Legislature passed law
paying a bounty of five cents each for
dead ground squirrels and chipmunks
and it threatens to bankrupt the terri
tory-nearly every cent in the treasury
having been paid out and the gopher
harvest only just commenced. Ii seems
that as soon as tie legislature passed
the bounty law it adjourned, and its
members each got 4 club and started
for the foothills where the squirrels
are tame, and have been knocking them
over at the rate of two or three hundred
n day.
1t IS said to be great sight to sec
an aged and dignitied member chasing
down the side of mountain, yelling
and pounding the ground in front of
him with hoop.pole as he pursues a
little striped gopher. So far the rresi-
dent of the Council Is ahead, having
2,l5O scalps. but it is claimed that he
stole 200 from the Speaker of the House
and rs from the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Church Extension. II this
is so, the Chairman of the COMMITTEES on
Banks and Banking Layouts is ahead,
he having cashed in something over . =
600. The Governor of the territory and
leading Helena editors threaten to join
the hunt.-Dakota Bell.
